A landmark tribunal has ruled that Islam critical beliefs are protected under the Equality Act, and the man at the centre of that historic decision, Patrick Lee, sits down with Jonathan Sacerdoti for his first full, unfiltered interview since the judgment shook Britain’s institutions.

Patrick Lee is an actuary who never sought public attention, yet found himself monitored, censured and threatened by his own professional body for simply quoting Islamic scripture and raising concerns about extremism, women’s rights and child protection. His case exposed a troubling truth: Britain has become far more comfortable policing offence than confronting doctrines that harm the vulnerable.

In this powerful conversation, Lee explains how he went from a quiet private citizen to the unlikely figurehead of a legal battle about free speech, Islam and the limits of criticism in a supposedly liberal democracy. He details how the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries secretly scrutinised his tweets, why the tribunal finally defended his right to speak, and what his victory means for every citizen who refuses to lie about reality.

This is not just a story about one man. It is a warning about what happens when fear governs public life, when institutions appease extremism, and when silence becomes a national reflex.
